I was banned yesterday, it was rather a shock and I did not see it coming. I think it is a bit harsh, but when you break the rules, there are consequences..................I am no longer allowed to put things in the dishwasher Shocked Mrs Expat came home yesterday and my latest effort was the straw that broke the camels back. She is rather "particular" abut how things are placed inside. ALL items are to be placed in taking up as little space as possible to maximise the efficiency (she is German, no my wife not the dishwasher. Come to think about so is the dishwasher Grin) of the appliance. She does have a point, I can make the dishwasher appear full with two coffee cups, a teaspoon and a cereal bowl Embarrassed I have to confess I have been playing this for a while now, but it has somewhat backfired on me. Banned I am from putting things in it, however, I am most definitely still authorised to unload the dam thing Angry
Anyone got any ideas on how I could get that "privilege" withdrawn too Grin Grin

You could try what I did once, remove the shelves from within the dish washer and hide them.
See her get out of that Wink

Fancy a wife swap. My wife winds me up by loading the dishwasher (not German, but the washing machine's AEG) in the most inefficient fashion possible!

I have a dishwasher but rarely use it... is there something wrong with me? It looks very nice mind, but only seems to be used when we have guests.
Otherwise it is either the missus or me that washes the dishes. Must get the children more used to this as part of my child-slavery policy Cool

A stern female finger pointing at the stack of paper plates warded me away from the dishwasher. They're cheap and biodegradable, right? Renewable resource and all that, right?

How I got out of the dishwasher dilemma!

Kinda like Ozzy said, I don't belive using the dishwasher is nessecery (as it's just me and the ol'lady), unless we have a bunch of family or friends over to eat. But the wife don't like to do dishes by hand, and eventually loads up the dish washer untill I can't find a clean plate or utinsiles ,
utensals, knife, fork or spoon, and God help her, my coffee mug. And like you said SHE expects me to unload it.

So here's how to get out of this wishywashy situation.
First, make sure your lady ain't looking over your shoulder as you read this!

You got to make like your giving in. OK honey use your dishwasher, have fun. Now you are throwing her off, everythings OK.So now what you do is after your done eating,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Wash your own dishes. Let her pileup her own stuff in the dishwasher, and when your stuff is dry put them away in the cupboard (or where ever you put them).Now what ever you do ignore the situation and when she thinks YOUR going to empty the blasted washer, just go and get you clean frosty mug, fill it with a beverage of your choice and go about your buisness as if nothing is going on. She'll get the message and empty the darn thing herself! Grin Grin Grin, OK gotta run, I hear her coming down to my chambers.
